How about introducing the mist just before the turbo? In the air cleaner tube?
I read somewhere that squirting a crude jet of water before the turbo eventually caused problems with the turbo compressor but that if one used a misting nozzle there was no bad side effects to the compressor wheel.
The person also recorded a 90 degree (F) drop in intake manifold temp
besides the usual benefit of being able to use higher boost presssures
The question is: is positioning the nozzle before the turbo a good idea? Is it the best idea?
Does the turbo compressor also benefit by the cooling mist it sucks and catapults toward the intercooler or throttle body (Cooler turbo, etc.)?
Have there been tests using this position? I'd be curious to know.
